Voltage converters are widely used in engineering as power supplies and voltage
stabilizers. The construction of each voltage converter consist of reactive energy storage
(inductive and capacitive elements) and a switching device. With the development of
semiconductor technology, it is possible to abandon mechanical switching devices, and
to use semiconductor diodes, transistors, and thyristors as switching elements, which
switching frequency can reach several hundred kilohertz. The main problem associated
with the control of semiconductor voltage converters is to stabilize the output voltage
depending on the input voltage and a variable power consumption load. The article deals
with the control problem of a voltage buck-converter under the specified conditions. The
non-linear discontinuous control law is developed in the article, which allows to stabilize
the output voltage under conditions of unknown input voltage and output load current.
The basic idea is based on the base of the so-called “vortex algorithms”, which provides
invariance with respect to external unmatched perturbations. Theoretical results can be
implemented with using modern pulse-width modulation converters. Simulation results
shows the efficiency of the developed algorithms.
